Avant-Garders
CharacterThree artists in the My Hero Academia spin-off Team-Up Missions decide that beauty peaks at the instant something detonates, then wreck the studios of rival creators to prove the point. A four-hero squad brings them in, and one close-range blast from Dynamight convinces them their whole theory was backwards.
Overview
This trio from the Team-Up Missions spin-off performs familiar artist cliches, one apiece. All three hold that nothing surpasses a detonation, and the exact instant it fires is where beauty lives.
Art-rooted Quirks belong to each, and explosive powers win their admiration, Katsuki Bakugo's Explosion most of all.
Role
They wreck rival studios at Palette Villa until a Team-Up Mission squad arrives: Shoto and Deku beside Present Mic, plus Katsuki Bakugo, who answers to Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. Confronted, the trio deny any damage and call detonation their medium.
2D-ify pins Dynamight and Cubism seizes Deku, then Spray Art fogs an escape, but Present Mic's ears let Shoto ice all three blind. Freed, Dynamight fires back, and one taste of real explosives convinces them they were wrong. Prison follows, then a Fear Exhibit built on Dynamight.
